On Thursday 21 July 2022, we launched our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2022-23.
The plan sets out a framework to drive the department’s contribution and ongoing commitment to Australia's reconciliation journey.
Our vision is to create a stronger and more diverse Western Australian economy for all. We facilitate, influence and support the advancement of our local industries, businesses and people. This vision strongly influenced the content and direction of our RAP.
More about our reconciliation action plan
Show moreOur RAP was developed with contribution from across the business and encompasses the outcomes our staff would like to see us achieve as a department, as well as personal goals and commitments to building stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The department has confirmed its commitment to reconciliation by embracing and implementing its first RAP, and we will actively seek opportunities to continue along our reconciliation journey with other like-minded organisations.
While our journey to date has been guided by, respects, and reflects legislative framework and other documents that enable the protection and sharing of cultures including the Aboriginal Heritage Act, our minds are open to other opportunities and we are partnering, learning, growing and - most importantly - listening.
Our inaugural RAP is strongly influenced by the department’s vision to create a stronger and more diverse Western Australian economy for all, by facilitating, influencing and supporting the advancement of our local industries, businesses and people.
This RAP was developed with contribution from all business areas and encompasses the outcomes our staff would like to see achieved by the department as a whole, as well as personal goals and commitments to building stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This Reflect RAP will ensure that our ongoing commitment to reconciliation becomes embedded in our core business and is embraced by all our employees. It will be the foundation in our reconciliation journey and we will continue to engage all staff in the journey towards reconciliation.
